Free Community Workshops

These two-hour community workshops are for community members who are interested in understanding more about the toxic substances in their homes and neighborhoods. Participants will find out what might be dangerous where they live and how to protect their family and friends from those substances. The instructor is noted researcher/toxicologist Dr. William Toscano, University of Minnesota School of Public Health.

Workshop Format

The format of the workshop is user friendly and interactive. Audience members have the opportunity to ask Dr. Toscano both general and specific questions about toxic substances. Participants will "map" and discuss individual and general sources of exposure in their community and will be provided with strategies to reduce those exposures. The workshop will also provide an overview of pertinent local, state and federal regulations that address toxins in the environment (Superfund, CERCLA and others).
